Except for a few cases where the nasal mucosa changed from pale to mildly congested, no obvious changes were found in most cases. Usage: Roast the Xanthium sibiricum into dark brown and grind into powder. Take 3-5 grams each time, 3 times a day, for 2 weeks. Or mix the powder with honey to make pills (each pill contains 3 grams of powder), take 1 to 2 pills each time, 3 times a day, for 2 weeks, and if necessary, take for 3 weeks to 2 months. The powder can also be extracted with alcohol to make tablets (each tablet is equivalent to about 1.5 grams of the original medicine), 2 tablets each time, 3 times a day, for about 2 weeks. A small number of patients experienced mild diarrhea, abdominal distension and pain, mild headache, general weakness, etc. after taking the medicine.
